 * Delete. Claim to fame is as a young assistant for Hillary Clinton. Regarding his work, The New York Times article states: "None of this would be remarkable... except that Mr. Helfenbein is only 21, a college senior." I am not convinced this is as remarkable as the NYT would have us believe. Location (talk) 03:29, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The undergrad thesis is a grand total of nothing-notable. Anyone can copyright any original work. It was published in what appears to be school's own in-house journal specifically designed for this level of work rather than an independent publication with external referees. The "The Cane Senior Honor Award" is a student-body-selected member for contributions to the class/student-body, website states "third most popular senior". If that's the level we have to stoop to find some shred of something to make him seem notable...he ain't. Maybe someday he'll do more or build upon a promising start, but articles aren't written for future achievements. DMacks (talk) 03:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO. Arguably the article doesn't assert importance because there is, as of yet, no importance to assert. Ray  Talk 22:06, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
